‘Cho Sang-woo navigates the visceral and high-stakes world of Squid Game with a deeply complex take on morality.’

‘On the surface, he is the epitome of success and competence - a sharp contrast to the other contestants, particularly Gi-hun, many of whom are struggling with poverty and the ensuing anguish.’

‘However, beneath his calculated exterior lies a man torn by guilt, fear, and a deep psychological conflict that shapes his decisions throughout the game.’

The essay on Sangwoo I began writing 3 years ago is finally finished and linked below. The gifs here are some of my proudest quotes. Any reads and feedback would be eternally appreciated.

Thank you 🫀

- rarely eats. we see him eating all the time before and during the games of season 1, but never saw him eating this season. he is noticeably skinnier

- his facial expressions and moods are only of sadness, distress, and anger. we only see him smile 3 times. no other emotion is seen on his face, unlike how he was before where he was very expressive. he still is, but the range of the emotions are so small.

-he doesn’t move around as much, like every ounce of energy is drained from him

-he has more of a smoking habit

-this man does absolutely no relaxing. you can tell how tense his body and mind is at all times

-he’s learned how to defend himself better

-he has no one, and i mean absolutely no one by his side in those three years between the games. he has jung bae for a little while, but he loses him too.

-there is no light in his eyes anymore

-he doesn’t talk as often as he used to, and when he does it’s pretty monotone compared to how he used to talk

Basically the games sucked every drop of light out of this man and we will never get the old gi hun back. I mourn this loss every day.
